community popups
real life. real people. real family.
make friends fast. become family faster.
church was never meant to live only on sundays. community popups are simple, relaxed gatherings where the awaken family connects throughout the week.
why we do this
sunday is where we gather. cpus are where we become family.
a sunday handshake is a great start. but real life change happens around tables, on porches, at parks. cpus are how we trade rows for relationships.
no agenda. no pressure. just simple, two-week seasons throughout the year where you pick a gathering and show up.
what to expect
a cpu is whatever it needs to be.
coffee shop. backyard. living room. park bench. the space changes. the heart doesn't.
coffee & conversation
meet up at a local shop and just hang out
shared meals
potluck dinners, cookouts, breakfast meetups
game nights
cards, board games, trivia, tournament style
park hangouts
picnics, hikes, kids playing, families connecting
the journey
every cpu is a bridge.
we don't expect you to walk in best friends with everybody. we just want to walk you across the bridge.
"sunday makes it easy to make friends. cpus make it easy to become family."
how it works
three steps. that's it.
browse the cpus
each season we open up a fresh list of cpus across our community. find one that fits your schedule and vibe.
sign up free
register through planning center so your host knows to expect you. takes about 30 seconds.
show up
walk in as you. no pressure to perform, prepare, or pretend. just bring yourself.
season schedule
eight seasons. two-week windows. all year long.
cpus run in two-week seasons. once registration opens, gatherings fill up quickly. plan ahead.
become a host
open your space. open your life.
hosting a cpu isn't about being a chef, a counselor, or a perfect christian. it's about saying yes to a few people gathering in your space for a few hours.
we'll equip you with everything you need. a playbook, a planning center login, and a team that has your back.
ready to host?
we'll walk you through it. no experience needed. just a willing heart and a little bit of space.

awaken church was never meant to feel like a stadium. it was always meant to feel like a kitchen table.
